Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet off in the opening leg of the Champions League quarterfinals for the fourth time in the previous five tournaments. Whoever won then lifted the Cup. Real Madrid is aiming for its eleventh consecutive quarter-final triumph over the team that currently owns the title, following their victory over Inter in the Istanbul final.
REAL MADRID (4-3-1-2) the probable lineup : Lunin; Carvajal, Tchouameni, Rüdiger, Mendy; Valverde, Kroos, Camavinga; Bellingham; Vinícius, Rodrygo. Coach Ancelotti
Without Cortouis and Alaba out due to injury Ancelotti instead finds Militao among his squad
The only doubt is Nacho-Tchouameni in defense to pair with Rudiger
Tchouameni made 8 appearances in defence: 6 wins and 2 draws
